        "text": "You should reach out to an interior restoration contractor as soon as the storm passes and exterior breaches are secured. Securing immediate assistance allows a contractor to evaluate ruined drywall, subfloors, and framing early. A contractor who handles both structural repairs and fine finish work can document damage for your insurance adjuster, ensuring essential items like trim profile matching, subfloor stabilization, and ceiling blending are not overlooked in the initial claim estimate. Waiting too long risks mold growth and structural sagging.",
